Windows "Here, Jon Schwartz, UAC Architect, and Chris Corio, UAC Technical Program Manager, discuss, in detail, the history of UAC, the architecture and design of UAC, the new security model of Vista (we are all standard users, gone are the days of running as admin by default on Windows), what happens when a UAC security dialog is invoked, how UAC impacts developers, how UAC will evolve, etc."

"Package managers for Windows do exist (for instance win-get). "

winget is a download manager, not package manager.

"Wrong, Windows is getting more it's own features, and they are perfectly implemented."

Hallelujah! Preach the good word, brother!

Sure, winget is a download manager, and win-get is a package manager ;)

When you refer to some insanely obscure software that not even Google can find (no, it can't, it's not the 6th hit down. win-get render a whopping 10 hits on a single page) it's a good idea to include a link to it.
Now, windows-get on the other hand gives us the correct page.
